C H A I R M A N ’ S M E S S A G E Dear Fellow Shareholders, Bank of Hawaii performed well again in 2014. We concluded the year in sound financial shape. We remain well capitalized and well positioned for 2015. We continue our strategic approach to managing your company with a focus on building shareholder value over time by leveraging our unique market knowledge and brand strength along with sound risk and capital management and prudent expense control. Hawaii and the West Pacific remain our core markets. Net income for the full year of 2014 was $163 million compared to $150.5 million the prior year, an increase of 8.3 percent. Diluted earnings per share for the full year of 2014 were up 9.2 percent to $3.69 from $3.38 in 2013. Our balance sheet continued to strengthen with solid growth in loans, up 13.2 percent to $6.9 billion from the prior year. Deposits were up 6 percent to $12.6 billion year over year. Credit quality remained solid and we saw all key metrics moving in the right direction throughout the year. Capital ratios place us in the top quartile among peer banks. Our equity valuation, as measured by price-to- book value, also remained in the top quartile throughout the year. Expenses for the full year were down $4.1 million, or 1.2 percent, to $326.9 million from $331.0 million in 2013. Significant to this performance is it was accomplished amidst a stagnant interest rate environment. We returned significant capital to shareholders through our share repurchase program while still managing to grow capital and maintain our annual dividend of $1.80 per share. Since the start of the share repurchase program in July 2001 through the end of 2014, we have repurchased 52.0 million shares and returned more than $1.9 billion to shareholders at an average cost of $36.96 per share. Remaining buyback authority stands at $73.2 million as of Dec. 31, 2014. Economy In 2014, we were fortunate to benefit from a relatively strong economy in the islands. Hawaii’s unemployment rate of 4 percent is among the lowest in the nation. Tourism set another record year in 2014. Visitor arrivals increased 1.3 percent to nearly 8.3 million and total visitor expendi- tures grew 2.3 percent to $14.7 billion. This on top of several very strong years of growth in the industry. Hawaii’s housing market continued to perform well with the median price of a single-family home on Oahu topping $700,000. Housing inventory remains tight on Oahu with single-family homes on the market for an average of 23 days at end of 2014 and condominiums on the market an average of 22 days. Construction activity, which had gotten off to a slightly slower start than anticipated a couple years ago, is now accelerating with numerous major residential condominium projects underway and more in the pipeline in Oahu’s urban core. Honolulu’s rail transit project, currently estimated at roughly $6 billion and the largest public works project in the state’s history, is progressing with an anticipated completion date in 2019. The strength of the economy was clearly reflected in our lending activity. We experienced broad-based growth in commercial and consumer lending. Commercial lending was up 11.9 percent to $2.83 billion compared to $2.53 billion at the end of 2013. Consumer loans increased 14.1 percent to $4.07 billion from $3.57 billion at the end of 2013. Barring unforeseen geopolitical factors, we’d expect Hawaii’s economy to continue its steady course. However, we will keep an eye on the broader global economy for developments in Europe, Asia and other regions that could have a potential impact on our local economy. Our strong performance reflects the dedicated efforts of our 2,200 employees and the quality of our customers. We were honored to once again be recognized nationally for our exceptional performance. Forbes magazine ranked us the No. 2 top performing large bank in the country. This is the sixth year in a row that Forbes has ranked Bank of Hawaii among the top five and we are the only bank in the country to be ranked in the top five for all six years that Forbes has conducted this ranking. In addition, Bank of Hawaii is rated Aa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, making it one of the highest-rated financial institutions globally and nationally (rating as of Sept. 2014). Consistent Strategy We continue to stay the course in regard to our strategic plan, which has served us well. Our 2014–2016 strategic plan contains many of the same core initiatives that make up the strategic foundation of our prior plan. Important will be deepening customer relationships, increasing efficiency, supporting and engaging our employees, leveraging our brand strength and continuing to actively manage risk and capital. The outcome of our success will largely depend on our ability to ensure all these elements are achieved in harmonious fashion. All elements are important. Unique to the 2014–2016 plan will be expanded emphasis on ensuring we have the optimal customer delivery channels for today’s environment, on fine-tuning our products and services to the unique needs of our customers and on leveraging technology to improve customer experience and approval. Customer-Centric Focus Founded in 1897, we have a deep history in the markets we serve, and today have banking relationships with more than 50 percent of Hawaii households. As a community bank, we believe banking should not be complicated. Our job is to help customers understand the products and services in which they have an B A N K O F H A W A I I 2 0 1 4 A N N U A L R E P O R T 1 C H A I R M A N ’ S M E S S A G E interest, helping ensure the choices are right for them. The words “fast-paced” and “innovative” have not traditionally come to mind when describing the banking industry, but that’s changing. Customers already recognize and appreciate our extensive branch and ATM network, and we complement that accessibility with a 24/7 call center and advanced mobile capability. We continue to see customers conduct more of their business online and adopt new mobile technologies. By embracing a customer-centric approach and using the knowledge learned from conversations with customers, we can provide the appropriate products and levels of service tailored to their individual situations and stages in life. Some customers have basic banking needs while others—consumers and businesses—have more complex requirements. As highlighted in the theme of this year’s annual report, our commitment to building strong, long-lasting, trusted relationships with our valued customers allows us to help them navigate toward a successful and secure financial future. Employees We must continually ensure we not only attract the best employees but also retain them. We place heavy emphasis on employee development and training at all levels across the organization. Developing talent is the cornerstone to executing our plans for the future. A wide breadth of in-house training opportunities is available for all levels of employees. Also provided are specific courses involving leadership development and succession planning along with newly introduced courses on employee engagement and productivity. We were proud to be named among the top 10 best large companies to work for in Hawaii Business magazine’s “Best Places To Work” annual survey. According to the survey, Bank of Hawaii was also ranked the No. 1 “Healthiest Company” and No. 3 for “Most Family-Friendly.” In January 2014, we launched our Bank of Hawaii Foundation Scholarship 2 Fund for employees’ children and grandchildren. In this inaugural year, we were proud to provide 26 scholarships worth $91,000 to colleges across the country. We look forward to expanding the program in the years to come. Community Our roots in the community run deep. Not just a company mantra, but an embedded value, we believe in investing in our local communities— both with time and funding. Along with being the state’s largest independent financial institution comes not only an obligation but also an opportunity to make a positive difference. Healthy banks need healthy communities and vice versa. I’m very proud of our “Bankoh Blue Crew,” a dedicated team of employee volunteers who are in the community every week helping out a diverse group of nonprofit organizations accomplish their missions. In 2014, employee volunteers participated in 109 community-based events—more than two per week— investing 6,712 hours of their time. Employees are encouraged to also serve on boards of community organizations and lend their expertise to help guide these groups and offer their leadership skills and professional experience. You can read more about community activities later in this report. We were honored to once again be the top residential lender in the state in both number of loans and dollar amount. We were also proud to be recognized as the SBA Hawaii top lender for Category 1 (large banks) and Hawaii’s Military Bank of the Year by the U.S. Department of the Navy. Additionally, we continue to maintain our Community Reinvestment Act “Outstanding” rating from the Federal Reserve. And, we were proud to receive for the first time the Community Commitment Award from the American Bankers Association. Aloha and Mahalo to Dave Heenan I want to wish a fond aloha to director Dave Heenan, who retires from our board at our 2015 annual shareholders meeting. Dave served our organization well for more than 30 years as a member of the board. He also served the past 14 years as chair of our Human Resources and Compensation Committee. His keen intellect and razor sharp wit will certainly be missed, but absolutely not forgotten. Mahalo Dave and Nery for a job well done. Holo I Mua—Moving Forward Together For more than a century, our customers have trusted and depended on Bank of Hawaii for their banking needs. It is a trust that we value and take seriously. Looking ahead, we are excited about the future. We have an exceptionally strong leadership team and highly dedicated and talented employees. I’d like to welcome new board member Victor Nichols, who will also serve on the board’s Audit and Risk Committee. He most recently served as Chief Executive Officer of North America and President of Global Consumer Services for Experian, the leading global information services company providing data and analytical tools to clients around the world. Victor’s professional background and expertise in strategic planning and information technology will bring valuable perspective to our board and his global experience is well suited for the rapidly growing role of technology in the financial services industry. I’d like to thank our entire board of directors for their ongoing support, guidance and involvement. I also want to thank our shareholders for their confidence and trust in Bank of Hawaii. We are proud of our results and the team that helped make us the successful organization we are today. We look forward to 2015 and “moving forward together.” With aloha, Peter S.

Online and Mobile Banking More and more people are utilizing personal technology for banking at their convenience. Our mobile banking experience offers customers an easy way to conduct secure transactions, such as viewing accounts, paying bills and transferring funds.

This year, the bank launched mobile banking apps for both the Android tablet and the Kindle Fire HD, making it easier to bank on the go. The apps feature layouts optimized for a tablet screen, monthly cash flow charts, dashboard displays of all accounts plus detail screens for individual transactions, and the ability to deposit checks using a device’s camera. Credit Cards In partnership with Hawaiian Airlines and Barclays, we relaunched our Hawaiian Airlines credit cards for consumers and businesses in 2014. The Hawaiian Airlines Bank of Hawaii World Elite and Business MasterCards offer special benefits designed to appeal to travelers, such as bonus HawaiianMiles, the absence of foreign transaction fees and an EMV chip that offers additional security against potential fraud while authenticating credit transactions. This is the first chip card offered by a Hawaii bank. In November 2014, we began offering access to Apple Pay with our Hawaiian Airlines Bank of Hawaii World Elite MasterCards. It is the latest technology for mobile payments, a safe, secure and private way to pay with a simple touch on an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. We are currently looking into offering Apple Pay for our debit and other credit cards.

Social Media To work together effectively, we need to stay in touch. Bank of Hawaii continues to have the largest social media presence of any local bank, with followers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google+ and YouTube.

Our dedication to the growing social space, as well as creative content like SimpliSavvy, helped name Bank of Hawaii as one of the Top 50 Community Bank Leaders in social media by the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) in 2014. The ranking was based on fans/ followers, engagement, content and frequency of posts. Bank of Hawaii was the only Hawaii-based bank to be named from 6,500 eligible banks across the nation. Branches, In-Store Branches and Banking Centers While increasing numbers of customers choose to do their banking online or via mobile devices, many continue to appreciate the opportunity to do their banking in person. Our extensive branch network is an important channel for deepening customer relationships by helping them find solutions to more complex financial needs. Our in-store branches, which offer banking services seven days a week, where customers shop, are extremely popular. Some of our traditional branches serve as banking centers, where specialists in Mortgage Banking, Investment Services, Personal Banking and Business Banking are available to provide these specific financial services. These banking centers are located in branches that serve major metropolitan markets. In 2014, the bank announced plans to build a new banking center in Kahului on Maui, which is expected to be completed in the first half of this year. Construction on the new 13,500-square-foot branch began last year, and will be among the five largest branches in our network. The Kahului Banking Center will feature state-of-the-art technology, including biometric authentication to access safe deposit boxes, adding a secured layer of protection for customers.

Mortgage Lending For the second consecutive year, Bank of Hawaii was named the No. 1 residential lending market share leader in Hawaii.

We’ve just celebrated 100 years of our family business in Hawaii, and Bank of Hawaii has always been an important banking partner. JD: We value the relationships we have at the bank for their expertise. They can give you an answer quickly and are very responsive to our needs. Bank of Hawaii is a good sounding board and provides insight into the broader business environment. When I came to Hawaii in 1948, my intention was to continue my education. Because U.S. laws at the time barred foreign students in technical colleges, I joined the family business. We grew the chain of retail stores and became the largest purveyor of Hawaiian family wear in the state. We were one of the original tenants at Ala Moana Center. It wasn’t until the 1980s that we started borrowing money as part of a change in our business to focus on real estate. JD Watumull: My father’s investments in Hawaii real estate gave the company a new direction. Today, we still do our cash management through Bank of Hawaii in addition to more complex services, such as lines of credit to handle our real estate asset purchases. New mobile deposit technology has been very helpful. I’ve always heard that Hawaii is capital restrained, but I’ve never experienced that. Because of our relationship with Bank of Hawaii, it’s never been an issue for us. If they can’t handle the facility, they will partner with other lenders to help us get a deal done. Gulab: I’ve built relationships with many of Bank of Hawaii’s leaders through the years. Now I’m semi-retired, and it’s my son JD’s turn to handle the banking affairs. Our long-time banker is Wayne Hamano; he was my first banker and has been our guide and advisor for years. It’s reassuring to have such a long-time relationship, as he understands our business goals and the family. Carole Lau is our current banking officer, and she is very knowledgeable and dedicated. With our fast-paced business, if we need something done yesterday, she’ll get it done yesterday! The Watumull Family has supported education and culture and the arts in Hawaii for decades. Another reason we appreciate doing business with Bank of Hawaii is that they share with us the same corporate value of taking care of the community. Gulab: Our relationship isn’t just about the business. In 1959, I was approved for my very first home mortgage with Bank of Hawaii. The terms were for an eight-year loan for the entire amount. When that loan expired, they simply had me come loan. And now my grandson, Jared, the fourth generation in our business, got his first home mortgage through Bank of Hawaii. in and renew the We have a very good relationship with Bank of Hawaii, and I’m glad they will continue to be there for the business and for new generations of Watumulls.

We remodeled the house and then sold it. When the bank needed more papers to help with the sale, I was here in Texas. So Summerset drove to the house, and under my directions found the final documents she needed to process the sale. Dad made a nice profit from selling his house. When I asked him what he wanted to do with the money, he said, “I want to put everything with Bank of Hawaii; I trust them.” And everything is there; all our investments are in Hawaii. Kyle Kagimoto was wonderful in helping to set up the investments. From all these experiences in caring for my dad, I’ve learned so much about the importance of financial planning for when we get older. I can’t say enough good things about Bank of Hawaii’s help in so many ways. Kyle Day: I’d like to thank the bank for being there, for helping me take care of my dad, Frank Barros. Our personal banking services give me peace of mind as I manage his care from 5,000 miles away in Texas. My relationship began with Bank of Hawaii as a child, so it just means home to me. My dad’s had a great relationship with the bank for a lot longer. He worked for the bank providing security in downtown Honolulu for 15 years. It was his life. Now Dad is 97 years old, and visiting the Kahala Branch with his caretaker to cash a check has become a regular outing for him. He knows the people at the branch, and they are very nice to him. If you have a good relationship with a personal banker, it makes all the difference. With Bank of Hawaii, my dad and I go directly to Summerset Lovett, who knows us and understands our situation. She delivers very special customer service. If I have any questions about Dad’s account, I can just give her a call. Just recently, my father got nervous about his checking account. So Summerset picked him up, took him out to lunch and talked things over to help alleviate his anxiety. When someone goes to all that trouble to reassure him and make him feel comfortable, that’s special. Even from Texas, it’s convenient to do my banking at Bank of Hawaii. I access my account online, so with the time difference, I can do my banking even when the bank is closed. I also use mobile banking so I can pay Dad’s caregivers easily in Hawaii.

We’ve always stayed with Bank of Hawaii for all of our banking needs. No one (including me) thought that my solar business would become as large as it has. When I started, I had no employees. Now it’s the oldest solar energy company in the U.S. under the same management. The bank was there for us through 40-plus years, even the lean years when federal tax credits expired. I look for speed and flexibility in banking. I like being able to pick up the phone and make a funds transfer without having to come in and meet with someone at the bank. I appreciate the evolution of trust over the years. Carol Silva: What I look for in a banker is someone who recognizes me as Cully’s proxy—I do almost all the financial management. I need to take care of things when Cully is out of town or unavailable. So developing a relationship and working with the same banker is important in understanding our business and our banking needs. Beth Fong was Cully’s mother’s trust officer. As Cully’s mother got older, and more frail, Beth worked with our daughters’ trust and other matters. If I needed to get something resolved, I could call Beth for assistance. And now Beth has been helping our private banker, Mike Chisick, get to know us better. Cully: You know who’s great too, is Verna Felipe. She is sharp! Carol: The backup people—that’s one of the things about Bankoh that I love. All of the important people that you deal with at the bank have super staff. They know your name and provide great service, although they never see you. It says wonderful things about the way Bankoh trains its people. Cully: With a lot of help from Bank of Hawaii, and two other major banks, in 2014 we transferred ownership of The Solaray Corporation to the employees. They are now the owners. This was the biggest ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) conversion in Hawaii for the year. It was an extremely complex deal, and Bank of Hawaii was an integral player. Everybody wins with the ESOP. The company goes into a tax-advantaged status, can pay down its loans and be more competitive. The employees have the ownership that they never would have. Carol: Cully built the company to make Hawaii a better place to live through solar energy. Now the business can continue this vision in the hands of the people who helped build it. Cully: Now that the ESOP is finalized, I’m getting some positive pressure from the bank’s investment team to make financial plans for the future. I appreciate their counsel. We love our commercial banker Miki Ikeda. She’s very responsive even when she’s out of town. Cully will call her for information, and she’ll get an answer for him right away. Carol: That’s the thing about staying with the bank you start with. As you grow, and grow older, you have a valuable relationship. We were born and raised here. Why would you bank anywhere else?

When I was growing up people knew me as Tom Koide’s daughter, and everyone felt like family. I felt very included in the Bank of Hawaii ‘ohana. Kevin Sakamoto has been a tremendous help for me. He’s a great networker, and he’s my go-to banker. Anytime I need help with a loan or our mortgage, he’s got answers. Jill Higa is a close family friend, and a personal mentor. I’ve always seen her as a role model, especially for community service and career aspirations. She’s made an impact in decisions I’ve made in my life; she’s inspiring. Regan: The bank is the manager of our 401(k), and we trust them to manage it carefully while we watch it grow for our family’s future. Kim: I appreciate the convenience and customer service, and all the relationships I’ve built at Bank of Hawaii over the years. Regan: We’ll be continuing the banking tradition with Jacie, our little girl, when she gets a little older. Kimberly Koide Iwao: I’ve been a Bank of Hawaii customer for over 20 years—as long as I can remember. I opened my first savings account at the supermarket branch in Kahala Mall with my mom and dad. My dad, Tom Koide, was a loyal Bank of Hawaii employee who led the Hawaii Branch Division for many years, and there really wasn’t a question about where to bank. Regan Iwao: I’ve also been a client for years and years. My parents had their mortgage at Bank of Hawaii, and their accounts there. I generally defer to Kim to handle most of the family banking, and as a good son-in-law I’m glad to continue the Bank of Hawaii tradition. Kim: For me it’s really important to bank here in the Islands, to be able to talk with someone face-to-face. I also appreciate Bank of Hawaii’s convenience and the great customer service. I’ve probably used every single banking service—supermarket branches, online, ATMs. Even over the phone. I really appreciate the mobile banking app. It offers me time savings, allowing me to do my banking where and when it’s convenient for me. I can even deposit checks by taking a photo with my phone—I don’t need to go in to make a deposit. Regan and I are both attorneys, plus we have a toddler, and our schedules are very busy. So it’s really helpful and convenient to snap a photo of a check and deposit it that way. For me, Bank of Hawaii stands for excellence and stability. It has been ranked the best bank—not only in Hawaii, but nationally—for the past five years. The Iwao family: Regan Iwao, partner at Goodsill, Anderson, Quinn & Stifel, with daughter Jacie, and wife Kimberly Koide Iwao, associate corporate counsel and director of legal and regulatory affairs at ProService Hawaii, and their dogs, Precious and Sera. 14 B A N K O F H A W A I I 2 0 1 4 A N N U A L R E P O R T S T R E N G T H E N I N G O U R C O M M U N I T I E S Pulling Together to Strengthen Communities Bank of Hawaii employees invest in the community by donating their time and connecting with those in need across the state and the Pacific Islands. It takes all of us working together to create changes that benefit the most vulnerable in the communities we serve. Our commitment to community service is at the heart of our ‘ohana, and is reflected in our ongoing partnerships with dedicated not-for-profits. In total this year, Bank of Hawaii, its foundation and bank employees donated approximately $3 million to more than 400 community organizations. Employees and retirees alone contributed more than $740,000, which includes funds raised through the Live Kōkua Giving Campaign and the Live Kōkua Community Walk. Serving the Community Our commitment to creating positive change includes more than fundraising. Each year, employees and their families contribute time and expertise to hundreds of organizations and community projects. This year, we contributed more than 6,700 hours of personal time to 109 community service projects as part of the Live Kōkua Volunteer Program. Whether it’s cleaning a school, staffing a book swap or pulling weeds to restore the productivity of a wetland lo‘i (taro field), our ‘ohana is always ready to help out. Investing in Future Generations Our employees enjoy collaborating on special projects, especially those that give families and individuals the tools to improve their lives through financial education. In 2014, employees across the company went into nearby schools to reach 3,300 elementary students with lessons about the importance of savings, and 2,000 teens with lessons about the prudent use of credit and how to protect their identity when using social media. Award-Winning Performance Bank of Hawaii was one of nine banks in the country, and the only one in Hawaii, to be selected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for an innovative pilot youth savings program for 400 10th-graders on Oahu. The program reinforces practical financial skills as part of the school curriculum, and links it with special youth savings accounts for the students. Our ongoing volunteerism, community service and financial education was recognized with two national awards this year. The American Bankers Association awarded the 2014 ABA Community Commitment Award for helping youth successfully transition from foster care to adulthood with our matched savings accounts. The other award was the Corporate Social Responsibility Leadership Award, presented to the bank from the Financial Services Roundtable for the fourth year in a row. Our employees on 10 islands across the Pacific continue to remain deeply involved in helping to improve the communities where we live and work. (Opposite page) 1: For the 8th annual Bank of Hawaii Live Kōkua Community Walk, employees selected the walk’s beneficiaries, and then raised a total of $114,556, which was equally divided among the American Diabetes Association-Hawaii Chapter, Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawaii, Helping Hands Hawaii and Make-A-Wish Hawaii. 2: In October, 153 bank employees joined Aiea High School students and faculty, and members of the Hickam Non-Commissioned Officers Academy to spruce up the campus by painting, gardening, mopping and much more. 3: Danny Kim teaches the value of money and the importance of saving to two first-grade students at Lanakila Elementary. In April, our “Teach Children to Save” initiative reached 3,300 students through the commitment of 240 bankers across the state, and on American Samoa, Guam, Saipan and Palau. 4: Lisa Y. Goo, Momi Akimseu and Julia Ishado were just some of our Bankoh Blue Crew volunteers who were knee-deep in a community workday that had them pulling invasive weeds, planting vegetables and digging irrigation channels. This work supported Kākoʻ‘o ‘ʻŌiwi, a nonprofit restoring agricultural productivity to 405 acres within the wetlands of He‘ʻeia, Oahu. 16 1 2 3 4 B A N K O F H A W A I I 2 0 1 4 A N N U A L R E P O R T 17 S U P P O R T I N G O U R E M P L O Y E E S Empowering Employees for Success Bank of Hawaii is committed to providing resources to enhance our employees’ talents, knowledge and experiences for a brighter future. A company is only as strong as its people. And we couldn’t be more proud of ours. Bank of Hawaii employees are some of the best and brightest in the financial industry; they are the foundation of our success as we continue to move forward together. We strive to attract, develop and retain talented, dedicated and caring people, people who can partner across the company to do their utmost for Bank of Hawaii, our customers and the community. Because some of our best employees come to the bank through referrals from other employees, in 2014 we updated our talent referral program to leverage additional social media channels. Now, employees can more easily share BOH job openings with their networks of family, friends and business associates and refer top talent to be part of the Bankoh ‘ohana. 18 In addition to our competitive benefits, which include a great retirement plan, we continue to invest in employee development, engagement and well-being through our diverse “Grow. Connect. Thrive.” employee programs. These programs feature a robust curriculum of professional and leadership development classes, plus health education and activities to promote a healthy lifestyle. This includes free gym access at our three Oahu fitness centers (which offers a free session with a personal trainer), and subsidized fitness and wellness classes. Deeply discounted boot camp, yoga, Zumba, BoxFit and core strengthening sessions are also popular. Employee fitness is also promoted through special team activities such as the Summer Slimdown, a 12-week campaign that promotes healthy eating and exercise habits. In its second year, 225 participating employees lost a total of 1,691 pounds — that’s 85 big bags of rice! Friendly competition is a fun tradition that engages everyone at Bankoh. This includes our annual Bank of Hawaii Genius Bowl, a team contest that tests competitors’ knowledge of our many products and services for consumers and businesses. Anticipa- tion builds during the eight weeks of tournament rounds, and the final four teams have big turnouts of their fellow employees cheering them on during the live playoffs. This was the third year of the Bowl, which included 637 competitors — the largest number ever. In 2014, Bank of Hawaii was recognized as one of the “Best Places to Work.” In addition to ranking among Hawaii’s top 10 large companies who received this distinction, Bank of Hawaii was proud to also be ranked No. 1 in the “Healthiest Companies” and No. 3 in the “Most Family-Friendly” categories. Because we understand the importance of investing for the future, Bank of Hawaii Foundation (BOHF) established a new program this year. The BOHF Scholarship was established to help bridge the gap of higher education costs for college- bound children and grandchildren of Bank of Hawaii employees. The scholarship is administered by the Hawaii Community Foundation, and in July, the first 26 recipients were announced for this inaugural year. Recognizing and rewarding exceptional individuals and teams is an important part of the Bankoh culture, and through our Step Up To Excellence program, employees are invited to highlight exceptional contributions of their colleagues. Nominations are submitted each quarter, and awardees are celebrated by their coworkers and presented with valuable options and the opportunity to arrange paid time off from work. More than 80 awards have been presented since the program started in 2003. Our dedicated employees are the key to our success. By placing an emphasis on our employees’ professional development, personal growth and general well-being, they are better equiped to provide unparalleled service to our customers for their journey ahead. 1 2 4 3 5 1: The Bank of Hawaii Foundation’s inaugural scholarship recipients included 26 children of bank employees.
